Computer Aided Design Parametric Modelling (Inventor) Award Level 1

Computer Aided Design Parametric Modelling (Inventor) Award Level 1 City & Guilds Course Details To equip candidates with an understanding of the CAD Parametric Modelling environment, in terms of hardware, software and physical surroundings. It will explore the typical composition of a CAD Parametric Modelling system and Health and Safety matters that are associated with safe working practices. There areeightlearning outcomes to this unit. The learner will be able to: Use associated IT, CAD hardware and operating systems. Use basic file management techniques and maintain health and safety requirements. Demonstrate an understanding of the parametric modelling process, the user interface and how to access help and tutorials. Use a range of commands to create and constrain sketches. Use the range of commands to produce extruded and revolved features. Use placed features to modify parametric models. Use methods to create assemblies. Use the drawing layout environment to produce hard copies. Entry Requirements Although no formal prior qualifications, learning or experience are required, candidates should have general computing skills and a basic engineering knowledge and ideally some experience of using a CAD system. Assessment This unit will be assessed by: Two assignments covering practical skills. One GOLA on-line test covering underpinning knowledge. Learning Outcome Students will have the opportunity to sit the assessment tests for this certificate, providing they reach the required level of proficiency.
